Sandrock Road, Niton Undercliff, Ventnor

Presenting a recently refurbished home with fantastic sea views in the heart of Niton Undercliff, this detached three to four-double-bedroom family home offers spacious accommodation, driveway parking, and a charming rear garden.

Having been completely refurbished 10 years ago by the current owners, this beautiful family home has undergone a recent refresh, ready for the new owners to move in. The property boasts beautiful country cottage inspired interiors with flagstone floors, wooden doors, and cosy interiors. The accommodation is beautifully spaced out, particularly on the ground floor, allowing plenty of space for the family to spread out whilst offering plenty of room for the whole family to get together. It’s fantastic coastal location means the property benefits from sea views to the rear, across the English Channel, which can also be enjoyed from the slightly elevated patio to the rear of the house. The property comprises an entrance porch opening into the kitchen – diner which provides access to the utility room, two reception rooms, the ground floor cloakroom, and the stairwell to the first floor. The first-floor landing leads to three double bedrooms (one with an en-suite), and the family bathroom. This family also benefits from driveway parking.

Situated on the most southerly point on the Island, Niton was a small historic fishing hamlet up until the 19th Century, until nearby Ventnor was popularised by the Victorians as a health resort, due to the unusually warm climate to the south of the Undercliff. Many properties were constructed in Niton during this time, with famous visitors including Charles II and Queen Victoria herself. Niton village today retains a historic charm, but now benefits from plenty of modern amenities including a very well stocked shop, a pharmacy, a well-regarded pub, and a café, all within walking distance from Ashmead. To the south, The Buddle Inn, a smugglers favourite according to local legend, can be found on the way to the spectacular rugged coastline, rocky coves, and majestic St Catherine’s lighthouse, which has been in operation since 1840. The village is served by Southern Vectis bus route 6 which connects with Newport and Ventnor, and mainland ferry links can be found in Ryde, Fishbourne, Cowes, and Yarmouth.
